[@loricogsdale9181]

I LOVE your meal prep videos, Joey! So simple - just proves that healthy meals don't have to be complicated or expensive. Just stick to the basics! Please film more of these!!

[@JoeySuggs]

Factssss just keep it simple and easy👌 more to come for sureee!!

[@ditz3nfitness]

1:00, Please do some kind of "shopping for new snacks/diet/bulk foods at the grocery store" video! I love when you take us for a run as international viewers don't have anything near all the Americans have!

[@JoeySuggs]

Yesss definitely more of these coming!!

[@oso_quik_wit_itrush7632]

🔥 🔥 video Joey. Loved this idea of 9 cheap $45 meal combo. I’ve been so inspired by your videos and the road to rip. Love what you do!

[@JoeySuggs]

Yesss let’s gooo!! So pumped for R2R this year as well🙌

Take the chicken and put it in the crockpot with some chicken broth and cook it till it shreds then mix it with your mash and some veg, easy lazy dinner you start while you are out all day.

[@MindyTunnell]

He's done that before with salsa instead of broth. Game changer. 💪

[@nickrotolo]

@@MindyTunnell he made crockpot chicken with salsa and mashed potatoes?

[@JoeySuggs]

Yessss definitely want to do a full video on just crock pot recipes👌

This is one of the best meal prep videos I’ve seen! Thank you so much for going step by step!

[@JoeySuggs]

Let’s gooo glad you enjoyed🙌

[@SWIIIIIG]

Hey cooked everything in the bags they came in and this is the best youve ever seen🤣🤣

[@terrileedewey1430]

I agree, great video. Real products, real life, healthy food. I think people get intimidated with expensive prep supplies and complicated food. I’m sure they want better items, but real life and this economy, this is a start! Better than twinkies. Sad people had to comment like this. I’m glad you are better than the 1st commenter, but come on. Get down off your high horse.

[@BruceKarrde]

Enjoyed the video and gave some inspiration for the meals. One other question: most people cover breakfast and dinner; what about lunch? What does lunch look for people in mealprep or sporting?

[@JoeySuggs]

You can use the meals for lunch and dinner so it’s pretty much the same

[@jerel12307]

I really enjoyed this video and got some really good meal prep ideas. Thank you for sharing 🙂

[@JoeySuggs]

Yessss that’s the goal glad you enjoyed🙌🙌

[@bjpalm1994]

Another awesome vid Joey! Love your shopping/recipe videos. I’ve been trying to cook more at home lately because eating out gets expensive & ain’t always the healthiest lol. On the way home from work today had this video queued up and bought some turkey, veggies & sweet potatoes. Trying these tonight, can’t wait😋 Keep up the great videos brotha!👊🏾

[@JoeySuggs]

Yesss glad you enjoyed the vid let me know how it turns out👌

[@77andsunny]

8:03 easy plan when the instant potatoes are the most complex component. 👏

[@MadAdam93]

one meal you can add to this rotation that's still cheap to make using a lot of what you are already using in your prep is stuffed bell peppers so that you don't get too stagnate on your use of ground beef and rice.

[@JoeySuggs]

Yesss have a video on a recipe for this too👌

[@MadAdam93]

@@JoeySuggs it’s also a great recommendation for anyone newer to working out and adjusting their diet because bell peppers are great for potassium and helps prevent cramping

[@ditz3nfitness]

Holy smokes! Joey is hooking us all up with them gainz! Have just increased my calories to 3000 calories every day, so I need some recipes! 🔥

[@JoeySuggs]

Let’s gooo more cals means more meals!!

[@MindyTunnell]

Joey! This video man, thank you so much. Keeping it stupid simple is the key sometimes.. You are amazing. ❤

[@JoeySuggs]

Yessss glad you enjoyed🙌🙌 more to come!

[@MindyTunnell]

​@@JoeySuggsI legit made the mashed taters and ground beef last week. Fast and delish! I NEED more ideas like this.

[@kaspar_1982]

i would substitute yellow whole potatoes in place of instant mashed but otherwise spot on cheap and simple. i bet these meals could be made for free from a food bank.

[@breesaves]

Well, this is genius. I am new here. I am all about variety, so I am definitely trying this!

[@JoeySuggs]

Yesss glad you made it here🙌🙌

Joey, what are the advantages of sweet potatoes over regular Idaho potatoes? 54 year old nube meal planner here, trying to lean out and add muscle, so I'm trying every source I can find. Luckily I found your channel!

[@JoeySuggs]

No difference really just preference👌

[@stephenjones5282]

Sunday is my meal prep day now. How do you stop the meals becoming a bit too dry? And can they be stored in the freezer and reheated in microwave? I’ve bought special containers for microwave

[@dustinwilley4770]

The fact that you added the butter and fat free cheeses gave it more calories than the artificially gloved kinds!

[@jenniferfrasle6574]

I'm wondering if he added those to the basic mashed potatoes because of all the artificial ingredients in the bagged version.... like maybe it ended up being less "artificial" ingredients overall?

[@jenniferfrasle6574]

He actually does say that at around 2:45. I didn't catch it the first time I watched it. It might be more calories overall, but more "whole" ingredients? :)

[@JoeySuggs]

Yeah but it a bit less cals and has more protein and more flavor imo!

[@sal6376]

Exhausted from microwaving the food lol but thank you for this content it's great 👍

[@SmokeWater18]

BOGO on chicken breast is wild. You would never see those deals in Canada

[@JoeySuggs]

It’s actually pretty common at my Publix tbh!!

[@1CraigE1]

Is there any abacus to using powdered mashed potatoes as opposed to real potatoes other than the ease of prep?

[@aaronfranqui6418]

I love the efficiency and simplicity but I’m concerned about the plastic.

[@MrCarlosVillasenor]

How can i incorporate more protein into my diet, would you recommend a protein shake as well? Maybe yogurt and berries? I need about 180-200 grams of protein a day because i want to get shredded.

[@ncsounds1244]

Any chance you can do a Harris teeter grocery haul??

[@JoeySuggs]

[@alexdarnall8158]

Tip (not that you asked for it): to increase audience engagement with your videos actually look the camera in the lens instead of looking at your side selfie view all the time

[@user-ew3sl8xw2s]

Love the meal prep. Just one question is freezable??

[@JoeySuggs]

Yeah for sure!!

[@CaroleBiscuits]

Could use potatos other than sweet if I don’t like sweet potato?

[@JoeySuggs]

For sureeeee👌

[@Swagtastic22-r9l]

Just a recomendation, you shouldve made them into a turkey nugget.

[@SinusQuell_]

what about tuna for meal prep? its really low fat and high protein, I'm just worried if it's going to last

[@AndreaSalas-1227]

Great video! But about how long would you say that these are good for in the fridge?

[@JoeySuggs]

About a week

[@chrissybackes1942]

Where did you buy your electric salt and pepper shakers?

[@misssanchez3995]

[@simplyxmurdermystery672]

Silly question, but when u have one of these meals? What do you do about the chicken? As it’s tricky to reheat?

[@JoeySuggs]

Normally I cut it up first before microwaving so that it cooked evenly

[@ja4476]

I'll try those reciepe for sure.... btw $44 for all that ?!! It will cost me close to 2x that price......

[@JoeySuggs]

Crazy the prices now

[@brucehanson8481]

Would have loved to see you weigh them out but great video overall

[@JoeySuggs]

Appreciate ya🙌

[@nancyrussell2169]

I am struggling to see how these are high protein dishes. The amount of carbs is high in comparison to the amount of protein in each dish. I applaud you making up meals to have a variety of food to eat during the week and would suggest that you try something healthier than the plastic "I can't believe it's not butter." All those chemicals are worse than the calories saved.

[@dirtbagoutside]

Awesome!!! Love these videos! You always knock shit out the box!!

[@rhodaime79]

Wait, did I just see this right. You microwaved the broccoli in the plastic bag? and also boiled the rice in the plastic bag as well ? but why would you do this? I'm no expert but plastic and microwaves and heat are usually not a healthy combination. I'm surprised nobody in the comments has brought this up.

[@XxLockdownxX28]

Why does everyone have to agree with you? Do what you want. No one needs to hear your opinion

[@mith2946]

​@@XxLockdownxX28 What lol

[@logicrazez]

I mean looks good only concern is all that plastic on the food that cant be good for you right ?

[@Ashleyidselfg]

But meat loses a lot of weight when cooked, shouldn’t you weight that after cooked?

[@jenniferfrasle6574]

It only loses about 25% and keeps the same nutrients. For example, if you have 8 ounces of raw chicken, it will weigh around 5-6 ounces cooked, but the macros will be the same as when it was raw. Most people use the pre-cooked weight to calculate macros, but whatever you do, just stay consistent.

[@JoeySuggs]

That is exactly right !!

Anything cooked in bags is just horrible, the rice, veggies... Why? Just put the rice in the water and drain it. For the veggies just use a bowl or something if you really want to use the microwave!

[@saleen12]

The hardest part about all of this is eating bland food with no sauce or seasoning. Looks so gross

[@manningautogarage]

[@martyknight]

Open the bag and cook in a pot on the stovetop.

[@Mediterranean_FitnessTraining]

The recipes look great, but I totally disagree with the way he is cooking. Scientists have stated to avoid the use of microwave, as it makes the ingredients toxic & very unhealthy, depriving any nutritious elements from the food. Furthermore, puting the plastic bag into the microwave will surely melt thousands of microplastic particles into the food. Also the layer of aluminum foil is very toxic, especially when it is heated. Since we all care about healthy meal, we should also care about preping them in healthy ways
